I was always told I can be what I wanna be
He was surprised when her ears turned backwards and his own flattened just slightly. Had he said something wrong? He'd only been joking with her, trying to lead the conversation in a direction to get to know her, but clearly he'd said the wrong thing. It was something that didn't sit well with him. Her words captivated his attention and he listened as she awkwardly explained that she didn't remember her own name. Oops. He cringed, gritting his teeth as he did so, and immediately sent her an apologetic look. He felt mortified. There was no way he could have known beforehand, but he instantly regretted the joke he'd made. It was in ill taste looking back at it. In fact he wanted to crawl into his own skin and hide there. He was off to a great start. Her own joke and smile wasn't enough to bring him back from the embarrassment either. He took no joy in the fact that he'd even said that, even less so if it'd hurt her feelings. Yep. Crawling in a hole and hiding for the rest of his life definitely seemed like a tempting offer if it was something he could pick. "I am so sorry." Hanging his head slightly in shame. "I didn't know ... I never would have said that ... had I known." He grimaced. He was only making it more painfully awkward for himself at this point. His only hope now was to reconcile and let her know he had meant no harm. "What happened to make you not remember your name?" He asked cautiously. He was curious, but he didn't want to say anything else that could possibly make the situation worse. It wasn't his goal to hurt her feelings. No one ever said your dreams are always out of reach
